How to automatically validate (a)...

I'm currently trying to automatically validate all the signatures on a pdf (so that you see a green V instead of the orange questionmark) and than convert this file to a image-pdf (nothing on the pdf is selectable).

I'm trying to do this via the adobe acrobat sdk but i don't know where to start. Can anyone help me out here or give me a sample / ...

the goal is to have this running on a server (all the certificates (ex. belgian root certificate, ... will be installed on the server)

regards,

P.

How to automatically validate (a)...

Hi,

As you want this to work on a server you will need to select a different approach as the Acrobat Application is not supported in server use (and it would likely display dialogs which would stop Acrobat until they are dismissed.

I would recommend looking into the Adobe LiveCycle product.

How to automatically validate (a)...

Hello,

this looks strange to me. I would expect that using the Adobe SDK, we would be able to write programs to run on a server.

so, maybe i was not entirely clear in my question

can i open a pdf with de sdk (in background) and convert it to a tiff file having the signature a green V instead of the 'validity unkown' or 'not verified sign' (?)

i have read things about the DIGSIGHFT and a certain PubSec-api but is this the way i should follow ? Does anyone maybe have a simple example in c# ?

regards

Hi,

The Adobe Acrobat SDK is just a collection of header files, samples and documentation that require Acrobat to be installed on the machine you wish to use the Acrobat SDK on.

This means that any solution you create requires Acrobat to be installed so therefore you have to abide by the Acrobat products license agreement. If you want to do this on a server then you need to look at other options of which the LiveCycle suite would be the most suitable from Adobe.

To answer you direct questions.

I believe the conversion to TIFF is possible and you are able to validate the signatures using the SDK, however you may not be able to make sure that the application remains in the background while it is doing this process and it is against the license agreement to run the Acrobat application on a server.

Hope this helps your understanding

If you read the material that comes with the SDK, it clearly indicates that ''Adobe Acrobat is not licensed for use on a server, nor is it technically suitable''. No questions there.

If you wish to do server-based processing of PDF using Adobe technology, then we offer our LiveCycle ES family of products...

As far as using the SDK (on the desktop) to convert to TIFF - yes, that is fully supported. You can also use it to verify/validate signatures.

HOWEVER, the ''green check'' is NOT part of the page content and therefore will NOT appear on your raster image.

Reading and Writing PRC Files

Since the PRC format seems to be openly documented, would it be reasonable or possible to write an independent PRC reader/writer without using the A3D SDK? My only comment is that it would be more ideal for Adobe to make the PRC parser in the A3D SDK available outside its lock-down to the Acrobat Extended Pro license, as otherwise all of this same functionality has to be replicated by someone else wanting to write their own PRC reader/writer, and maintained in the future as the PRC format evolves.

Reading and Writing PRC Files

If Adobe does not listen to you - consider opensourcing the basic PRC IO code,

since (as I guess from U3D experience) a lot of work is finding by trial-and-error

answers to questions like ''is it really implemented in Reader ver X.X in OpenGL/DirectXX mode''

and ''what the hell the doc intends to say when the number 256 is to be stored in one byte'',

you may actually benefit from the attracted guinea pigs (or, more politely, beta-testers and early adopters).

BTW, the Asymptote drawing program already has some rudimentary PRC code (just covering its needs).

(Silly)Question about a specific tool...

First off, I apologize if this is one of those DUH questions, but I am not a scholar of Photoshop (yet...lol):

Ok, seen these logos? :

My question is: How exactly do I go about making a round shape(Or any shape really) and then cutting out swathes or sections of it to make stuff like the above? (Am I even using the correct terminology?)

I used to have Illustrator 7 and I remember the stuff I had to access in order to do that (merge/cut I think?) but with Cs4, everything is so diferent....Where in Photoshop are the controls to merge/cut/slice whatever (If those are even the ones)???

I know there are tutorials online, but I can't even find those cuz I don't know what terms to use in order to get to them...

Thanks so much for your help//

(Silly)Question about a specific tool...

To draw a circle there are detailed instructions in the help file under circle.

To get the ''cut-outs'' you can draw circles or lines with the background color to make it look like your examples.

Many other ways to do it, but start simple.

(Silly)Question about a specific tool...

Play around with the pen tool set to draw shapes, and the different path modes in the options bar.

Does event.statusCode = 0 mean database...

I'm trying to insert and update data to the sql database.The even.statusCode returns 0. Does it mean the update is successful? Is the code below correct?

private function createMessageResultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
{聽聽聽聽
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 Alert.show(''event.statusCode = '' + event.statusCode);

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 if (event.statusCode == 0)

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 {

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 Alert.show(''Database update is successful.'');

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 }

Thanks in advance.

Does event.statusCode = 0 mean database...

That depends on how your backend server handles the updating.

Does event.statusCode = 0 mean database...

Thanks for your reply. Are you talking about the database server or application server or both?

In this case I mean the app server

Sincerely,

Start documnets

In CS2 we had the ability to setup a start document with custom symbols and swatch pallets. how do I do this on CS4?

Start documnets

Same way as CS2.

not sure what app you are referring to though.

custom set up is done with no docs open.

to set up a template doc. make a new doc. set it the way you want and save it.

Start documnets

I am working in Illustrator CS4 we used to make the changes after opening a new CMYK document. Then we would save that document replacing the CMYK documnet in the plug-ins folder. I do not see the same file in the plug-ins folder in CS4. I guess my question is what file does it use to create a new document and can I replace it?

Illustrator questions are best asked in the Illustrator forum. This forum is for suite specific issues.

Help Creating Flash Catalog.

I have CS3 Premium but I am totally new to flash as I few applications for it.

I would like any information on how I can convert a PDF or an INDesign Doc to a flash player /flip page catalog - I have seen software out there that can do it but I would think that with the software I already have I have the capabilities, however, searching produced no results.

Could somebody please help me or point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

Help Creating Flash Catalog.

You could give this a try:

Though, I believe the Adobe application is called FlashPaper - but I don't think they include it in the suites.

Help Creating Flash Catalog.

Thank you - I didn't know if it was possilble through INDesign in the export section.

You may want to post on the InDesign forum to get an accurate read of that.聽 I personally don't know InDesign very well.

Which PDF-version on Content Server 4

In what PDF-version must the PDF-files be saved, in order to work properly on ACS4?

I have noticed that PDFs that are uploaded in version 1.6 (Actobat 7.x) does not show the first cover image, but a blank page instead, when downloaded (as a library loan for example).

PDFs in versions below 1.6 show the cover image as they should.

I have created the cover images from Photoshop CS3 and saved them as Photoshop PDF - then added to the PDF-file.

On Content Server 3, all PDFs had to be saved in version 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x) to work, but I hoped that would be different in ACS4.
